Thank you so much!!

We went to OKW with a family make up almost identical to yours and loved building 28

Hi. We have 2 br okw res in December. Are all 2 bedroom dedicated 2 be? TIA

 

[BillPA]

There are both dedicated and lock off units. If your reservation says '2 BR' is will be dedicated. If it is reserved as a lock off, the reservation will say so.

Are all the pools and hot tubs open at OKW now? At the small pools have the rules changed for use of pools, tables and chairs like in the past.

Hello

 

[The Jackal]

Pools and hot tubs are open. Chairs are grouped and distanced from others. Feature pools have set hours and quiet pools, the last I have heard are 24 hours.

 

[Chuck S]

I can't imagine the quiet pools being open 24 hours now, as they had signs saying that they closed at 10pm for several years prior to the pandemic.

Just booked for Feb. 21-23 on the basis of the ferry going to DS. So, it's not running? If not, canceling.

When we were there in November they were not running. Others have reported recently they were still not running.

That's new. Very strange. That will likely not last long, when people in nearby villas start complaining about noise. That has been an issue previously.

Thanks. After DH looked at the layout of the resort and ferry probably not running I canceled. Staying at YC.

I think it’s been this way since reopening. I never saw anyone using the Miller’s road pool after 10:00 PM when we were there. We were in building 22 so we were a bit away from the pool if there was any noise.

What is the possibility the ferry will begin running by June? We were so hoping to have this available.

It depends on several factors, I think.

1)How widely available a COVID-19 vaccine is.

2) If they want to set up additional arrival points with temperature checks, mask checks and so forth.

3) If they are still wanting to control the number of people coming and going from Disney Springs...again setting up a n arrival center at the docks to count the number of guests.

I would say it is possible, but somewhat unlikely the ferry will return by June, especially if they limit seating on the ferry. It wouldn't be worth the cost

Thanks very much for answering. I appreciate it.

Hi.
We have a one bedroom for ten nights beginning the middle of next week.
We do not have "close to HH".
I am with my mom so I would like the bathroom door accessible to me where I don't have to go through the bedroom.
I would like somewhat of a "view". Water, golf course.
Can I request Turtle Pond? Does Turtle Pond have elevators? Do any buildings have elevators?
Thank you very much.

 

[BillPA]

Only the 3 building, 62, 63 and 64 all on Miller road, have elevators.
Buildings 30 and above have the door thru the laundry to the master bath.
